Mangrove expert talks about the importance of preserving them

Mario Suarez, a specialist, visited the Guaratiba rainforest in Rio de Janeiro for the first time as a child in the mangroves.

After completing his studies in oceanography and researching mangrove crab species in Sepetiba Bay, Suarez decided to focus on ecological ecology.

After earning his doctorate at the University of São Paulo, he returned to Guaratiba to study regional gas pipelines and later worked as a pipeline supervisor.

Ensuring Biological Reserves in Specialists

Currently, Suarez has over 30 years of experience in mangrove research.

He is a professor in the Department of Biological Oceanography at the State University of Rio de Janeiro and coordinates the Brazilian Research Center for Mangroves (NEMA).

How climate change and carbon affect snakes and their role in epileptic crises.

NEMA adopts a unique approach to mangrove research, collaborating in the fields of chemical oceanography, geography, and anthropology.

Mongabay asked: What is the importance of pipelines for soil control?

The benefits of [the snakes] are not limited to reducing soil erosion.

When we talk about increasing carbon emissions from pipelines, we often discuss carbon sequestration.

You save a lot of carbon, but this is a way to reduce it.

Reducing congestion on the beaches is another approach.

This is an indictment of the Coal Law.

We often think of mangroves as carbon sinks, but in reality, they offer many benefits.

For example, they function like airbags.

Like coastal forests, cloud cover, and coastal zones reduce the risk of flooding.

There are other energy reduction initiatives, such as providing services to local fishing communities.

The snakes are an important resource, and the services extend far beyond these poorer areas.
